The bar’s owner, 74-year-old George Young, said he is too old to keep the doors open.

Young bought the bar in 1987.

In its 122 years, the corner tavern has only had four owners.

“I worked across the street at the knife company for 24 years. I bought this place in ’87. That’s 26 years ago. I’ve been coming in here since grade school at Garfield School. It's time to move on,” Young said.
